The precursors were treated by 0.5 mol/L H2SO4. Samples of SO4^2-/ZrO2-La2O3 nano-crystalline catalysts were obtained by baking the treated precursors at different temperatures. The acidic properties of SO4^2-/ZrO2-La2O3 were tested by the Hammett indicator method. The phase composition, specific area, particle structure, and surface state were characterized by X-ray diffraction, BET, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spec- troscopy. The catalytic activities were estimated by esterification of acetic acid with glycerin. It was shown that the catalyst prepared by ultrasonic stirring and low temperature (-15 ℃) exhibited highly active sites and high catalytic property.展开更多

Solid super-acid(SO_42-/ZrO_2) was used as an efficient catalyst for the degradation of cotton stalk. Both decomposition experiments and kinetic study were conducted for the exploration of degradation condition and kinetics mechanism. The optimized experimental conditions are reaction temperature 503 K, reaction time 75 min and dosage of catalyst 30%(mass fraction) based on the decomposition experiments, under which a maximum yield of 27.2% for HMF could be achieved. Kinetic study was then carried out in the presence of SO_42-/ZrO_2. The theoretical results indicate that the activation energies for reducing sugar and HMF with catalyst are 96.71 k J/mol, 84.21 kJ/mol in the presence of SO_42-/ZrO_2, and they are 105.96 k J/mol and 119.37 k J/mol in the absence of SO_42-/ZrO_2.展开更多
